Suzanne's niece, Jenna with her 10 month old baby came to visit this week. They toured Asheville and Brevard, and had a wonderful visit. Suzanne enjoyed her company and seeing the baby, her grand niece.
I worked this week with my neighbor. We cut down trees threatening to fall on houses. Four of us cut down and split wood after loading the truck with chips and rounds of wood. It seems my life since leaving Sacramento has led me to the trees and addressing them. I am learning to recognize the difference between oak, hickory and sourwood. In a few weeks we will be looking at a giant cotton wood, about 36 inches at the base and 40 feet tall. The cotton wood has a value for furniture and is one of the softest woods.
Suzanne has been working on her jewelry and baking. The Blue Ridge has inspired her and her designs are coming out exquisite. To her delight I am not the only one who thinks so. People compliment what they see and buy it too for themselves.
Next week we go to public health for another round of shots required by the Peace Corps. I will pick up the lab work and paper work from the doctor's office. Then together Suzanne and I will submit our medical paper work. This is the final step to decide if we get to go or not in January. If all goes well we will be leaving for South Africa the end of January. We are both excited and looking forward to starting the adventure.
"Chagall, the Recycling Dragon" is being well received. The electronic version can be found on Kindle and the hard copy will soon be available. Both will be on Amazon. If you have checked out the electronic version wag your wings. If not, join the many others who have already done so.
That is it for this week.
